Hey Groovybee!

Since your port of the BBC Micro version of a certain game it going so well, does this mean other Beeb games can be ported fairly easily?

 

Like maybe:

 

Defender?

Zaxxon?

Knightlore?

 

or even possibly

 

"Killer Gorilla"? (Donkey Kong clone with all 4 arcade screens)

It depends how you define "fairly easily" .

 

Like maybe:

 

Defender?

Zaxxon?

Knightlore?

 

None of those are on my conversion list .

 

At the end of the day it depends on the availability of carts with extra RAM in. For MODE 2 games on the beeb (8 colours and 8 flashing combinations) which sort of match MARIA 160B (13 colours) you need 16K RAM in the cart for the video buffer. For the 4 colour Beeb games only 8K is needed.

So what is on your conversion list?

So what is on your conversion list?

 

I'm going to keep that a secret for now . The last thing I want is an argument over what should have been converted first.

 

With hindsight I think the Tempest conversion has been released prematurely. I just wanted to show it off . Anything else that gets adapted/converted will be in a much more playable state.

This should be fairly straightforward: Your halloween game, then your RGB, then Apple Snaffle, then everything else.

My roots are most firmly planted in developing my own games don't worry.

[+TrekMD]

You are doing excellent work so I'm certainly going to keep an eye open to anything you release!

Actually what you should be working on first is whichever game you're developing right now that I'll enjoy playing the most.

It would be cool to see a port of NES' Super Mario.

I didn't think that came out on the Beeb . Its not a port or homebrew I'm particularly interested in doing either. I've never owned a Nintendo console so I don't have any nostalgia for the game.

That's okay though, while a platform/adventure would be cool, Super Mario Bros. would never feel right on the 7800. EVER!!

There's still something cool about seeing a game that's not supposed to be on a system appear on it. I remember someone (Taquart?) did a demo on the 7800 where Yoshi ran around the screen.

I don't know why its a shock. I'm from the UK so I was quite happy with my Speccy and ST. The NES wasn't even a contender due to the fact it wasn't programmable.

Thats only a small fraction of the Beeb back catalogue. Head over to http://www.stairwaytohell.com for more games. I've been using the BeebEm emulator which is available from here to play them on.

I think Cream Wolf would be perfect for the 7800.

 

Go play it here:

I think it'd make a better VCS game.
